Chapter 501: Chapter 122 The Determination to Win_5
Ah Dai sat dumbfounded on the bed, looking at Xuan Yue before him. Her words continually hammered at his soul, resonating like the tolling bells and evening drums. I am too weak, yes! I am really too weak. Perhaps, if I hadn’t been so cowardly in the beginning, Ice wouldn’t have died. If not for my cowardice, I could’ve avoided many things. Brother Xuan Re was right, I can’t carry on like this anymore. I am strong, I have already reached the highest realm of the Lifedecision, my martial arts are not even inferior to Judge Chief Xuan Yuan. "I am strong, I am strong," Ah Dai muttered these three words and his mindset began to change. Vague scenes kept emerging in his mind, and a cold feeling instantly inundated his body. He could clearly feel a surge of fighting spirit filling his soul. Although he couldn’t make out these scenes, Ah Dai could feel the spiritual levels they conveyed, continuously stimulating him. Influenced by these images, in combination with what Xuan Yue had said earlier, Ah Dai formed a single persistent idea, that he was a powerful existence. Starting from today, he would no longer be a coward. He closed his eyes and focused all his thoughts into the Golden Body within his Dantian, feeling the surging energy fluctuations, and gradually fell into a state of meditation. As Xuan Yue said, tomorrow he would definitely become a completely different Ah Dai.
Early in the morning, as dawn approached, every member of the Moon Scar Mercenary Corps set off, their hearts filled with excitement and a slight trepidation. Today would be an important day deciding the fate of their mercenary group, whether they could continue surviving in the mercenary world was dependent on today’s battle. Moon Scar had spent only five hours in meditation last night. After careful selection, he had chosen the 500 strongest mercenaries for today’s decisive battle. The four main leaders of the Moon Scar Mercenary Corps had gathered in the conference hall. Miao Fei was very tense, and Wan Li was no better. The Moon Siblings were also ill at ease, which created a heavy atmosphere in the conference hall. Facing such a large difficulty for the first time, all they could do was to bravely face it.
Unable to bear the heavy atmosphere, Miao Fei was the first to speak, sighing, "I hope Ah Dai and Xuan Re are as strong as they say, able to win with a single strike."
Moon Scar furrowed his brows, speaking indignantly, "Do not rely entirely on others, this is our own concern. What if Ah Dai and Brother Xuan Re are not around, can we always have a great benefactor to help in times of crisis? We have to rely on ourselves. This battle today, it’s connected to our beliefs, whether the Moon Scar Mercenary Corps can continue to develop and grow, that depends on today. We cannot lose, we absolutely cannot lose." He tightly clenched his fists, his body shivering slightly, with a cold light flashing in his eyes. He spent more than three years building up the Moon Scar Mercenary Corps, whilst simultaneously improving his own strength, for the purpose of turning the Corps into a powerful existence that could influence the entire mercenary world just like the Red Hurricane Mercenary Corps. Now, the greatest challenge since the establishment of the Moon Scar Mercenary Corps had arrived. Whether they could pass this obstacle would determine the realization of their ambition. Faced with danger, he had no choice but to continue bravely, with no room for backward steps.
Upon feeling Moon Scar’s desperate longing for victory, everyone fell silent. Yue Ji felt as if she was having difficulty breathing, as though a giant rock was pressing down on her heart. She slightly furrowed her brows, saying, "It’s getting late, I’ll call Ah Dai and the others to get up." With that, she turned and headed in the direction of where Ah Dai and Xuan Yue resided, as if she were escaping.
